THE MAID OF SKER. BY R.D. BLACKMORE

Published by Complete Freedom Publishing.

Richard Doddridge Blackmore (6/7/1825 – 1/20/1900), known as R. D. Blackmore, was one of the most famous English novelists of the second half of the nineteenth century. He won acclaim for vivid descriptions and personification of the countryside, sharing with Thomas Hardy a Western England background and a strong sense of regional setting in his works.

Blackmore, often referred to as the "Last Victorian", was a pioneer of the movement in fiction that continued with Robert Louis Stevenson and others. He has been described as "proud, shy, reticent, strong-willed, sweet-tempered, and self-centered." Apart from his novel Lorna Doone, which has enjoyed continuing popularity, his work has gone out of print.

The Maid of Sker. is a three-volume novel that was written by R. D. Blackmore and published in 1872. The novel is set in the late 18th century and is about an elderly fisherman who unravels the mysterious origins of a foundling child who is washed ashore on the coast of Glamorganshire, South Wales. It was published subsequent to Blackmore's Lorna Doone, although he had begun writing The Maid of Sker. 25 years earlier. Blackmore considered The Maid of Sker to be his best novel.
